Emulation (open discussion)

SPCs and PSFs are based on copyrighted work and if the copyright holder wants them removed they have every right.

About PSX, you need to make ISOs. I would suggest a program like Nero to make a disc image. If the game is only a data track, you could even go with FireBurner. Also you could go with CDRWin, but you'd best make sure to do an entire binary and not binary and wave files, atleast that's my opinion. Also ISOBuster is good for making ISOs.

Ah, thanks! I wasn't sure if my SPC collection was legal. Of course, it isn't, but at least now I know.

As for me, I download only Gameboy Roms... (Including advance, if you are wondering...) I only do that because most of the games I downloaded you can't get anywhere else, (Besides game store like Funcoland, or pawn shops; but those are very rare...) Does this make me a bad person?

eh, it's a grey area, but i stick to the older stuff
but i haven't download any for a number of days cause i've been engrossed with final fintasy 4-6 for the snes(with #5 i found a hacked translation 😃 )

[edit] i found out the problem, and fixed it, yay! 😃

i find that's it is alright to get roms, as long as they aren't sold anymore, or if the games are for older systems(and being a college student, money is hard to come by 😞 )

Question,
1) which woud be the best Genesis emulator?
2) where can I find a Saturn emulator?

been awhile since I've seen this one...

1) gens, also has Sega CD and 32X capabilites, but you need to find the bios for them; gens+, more of the same, but with Master System and Game Gear coded into it
2) no idea

Try looking at Zophar.net for SegaSaturn emulators, but beware none are good.

As long as this is back around...

Any way to use a SNES emulator as a Super Game Boy? I mean, play Super Game Boy optimized games through ZSNES or SNES9X or whatever.

I think you should check out some GB emulators for that feature. I know I've used one that supported Super Game Boy optimizations, but it's been so long, that I can't remember which one it was.

This site is a great source for emulators, I'm sure you'll be able to find one here: http://www.emulator-zone.com/

The Super Gameboy fyi contained actual gameboy hardware and thus is not supported by any snes emulator. Like vegeta said, many GameBoy emulators let you enable the SGB borders or color things.

Ah well, thanks anyway.

Is there any way to convert save states among NES emulators? i.e. jnes, nesten, ect....

smygb supports alll different versions of the Gameboy (Like GBC, Super Gameboy)

not that I know of.

And I ask a similar question, is there a way to convert SNES9X save states to ZSNES?
--------
what kind of periphal(sp?) do you use when using the emulators?
since I'm on the family comp, and mine is down, I'm stuck using the keyboard; the weird thing is, I'm better at Street Fighter II Turbo with the keyboard than I am with the Sidewinder

Sorry if its been asked already, but too much reading for jake... Does anyone know where I can get bleem! or anything of the like? I have a PS1 usb controller, so it'd be awesome to play my games on my PC.

I DO DL roms, alot. and *cough* alot of ones I don't own *cough*... my POV is, yes, its illegal, but so are the 350 burned CDs in my cd case. I wouldn't have the money to buy them, but I still get it through the ability to copy it... And games are a bit different than music, but I'm getting the exposure to the game, and becoming alot more likely to buy it or related games than if I were in the mindset "NO! its wrong says nintendo!" (not to shoot anyone down, just IMO)

I also have a PSX to USB adaptor and use my original PSx Dual Shock controller from ages ago on my PC. It's a well built controller (made in japan, NOT china). It's awesome.

It has been asked, but that's okay, it is a lot of reading. Search for Zophar's Domain, they should have bleem!, but I use EPSXE myself.

yeah, it's a decent emulator, again, I ask as before--
are there converters for NES emulator save-states?

I can never get any of the PS2 emulators to work on my comp.

I can't find a different version of Kalleira that actually wants to go online. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Daywalker

DssGame, PS2 emulators that exist are not capable of playing commercial games. While one or two has gotten to the point of running some, they require top notch systems no doubt (got a 64bit athlon cpu?) and you are better off using a REAL PS2 unit to play. Zero Wing, check Zophar's utilities section, they might have something.

Oops. I meant PS1 my bad.

Daywalker

Well then, get EPSXE, and follow one of the turtorials or read the instructions and it shouldn't be hard to get it up and running. I recommend for the GPU plugin to use Pete's Software Rendering plugin.

Well emulators are illegal period but woo woo woo do not panic I FORTUNATELLY GOTTEN a way to solve this: I am going to make on a game on the internet to download to where you get to make your own game.

But will ZC go out if you make that (th@) site?

NOT A CHANCE IN THE WORLD BECAUSE ONCE I make th@ game I am going to see if its programs can go with ZC and since it will advance more the awnser shall be Yes.

No. Emulators are %100 legal. You might be thinking of the BIOS, which I'm fairly certain aren't legal.

But good luck with whatever the hell you were trying to say....

FireGirl, no one cares what you have to say. Go away.

Emulators aren't illegal. We don't need stupid kids like you spouting their trash.

Grr them newbs lol.
